love this movie.
especially as the whole thing was shot hand held on a step ladder, in a cube and a half, where they just changed the camera angle and the lighting
I've watched this movie more times than I can say. I'm less into it now (I watched it again 20 days ago and wasn't as excited with other movies I still watch again).
There was a lot of thought into it making mathematical sense and how to make it feel believable. The plot is perhaps not as deep, but the movie remains enjoyable!
I just watched it for the second time (the first being about twenty years ago or more), and I made the realization they only needed one cube to film it up until the ending. Glad to learn it was a cube and a half.
I just watched it, right here in the comments. Thanks for posting!
As an IT nerd I loved how they made the door out of rack slides. Probably the easiest and cheapest way to make something that seems futuristic, but if you work with servers you see them every day.
The opening scene is also epic, still legendary to this day. I rented the movie on VHS back in the day, looked promising, but I wasn't that interested to be fair. Then the opening scene happened and I was glued to the screen.
I love this movie.
I watched this movie and tried adapting the idea into a session of my Star Wars RPG campaign. I didn't use a three dimension cube, more like one level of rooms. I had a map of what room did what, where everyone was, and cut down the math big time, and my players still hated me for it. Good times.
I recently went through the entire series again. It was 100% worth it.
Cube 2: Hypercube is great. The first Cube will always be my favourite and Cube 3 is a nice riff on the 1st. But Cube 2 is so bad, you can't help but love hating it.
If this is the one where the rooms have various weird anomalies then I watched this one as a child and it was just so damn weird
